Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When is an ionic bond formed?
A
when electrons are shared
B
when protons are shared
C
when ions of opposite electrical charges attract each other
D
when a positive hydrogen attracts a negative atom in another molecule
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When the transfer of electrons occurs, an electrostatic attraction between the two ions of opposite charge takes place and an ionic bond is formed. A salt such as sodium chloride (NaCl) is a good example of a molecule with ionic bonding (see Figure 3-3).

Detailed explanation-2: -Ionic bonding is the attraction between positively-and negatively-charged ions. These oppositely charged ions attract each other to form ionic networks (or lattices). Electrostatics explains why this happens: opposite charges attract and like charges repel.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ionic bond, also known as electrovalent bond, is a type of bond formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound.

Detailed explanation-4: -The opposite charges on the ions cause the ions to bond, or be held together, by electrostatic forces. An ionic bond is a bond between ions where oppositely charged atoms attract each other and cancel their charges to produce neutral compounds.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ionic bonds involve an electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically a metal salt and an electron donor.
